Arundhati Roy, winner of the Booker Prize in 1997, continues to focus on social injustices in her work, whether fiction, non-fiction, or political essays. She is an outspoken critic of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, describing India as extremely poor and silencing dissent. Roy also participates in protests against Modi's policies, despite being accused of divisiveness and anti-India sentiments. She remains optimistic about political change in India.
